Reinvent your closet with the basics

This weekend was awesome! On Friday I partied with my friends and met Tini and Jason from H.O.W.L. (OMG I love their work!) and none other than Carmindy from TLC's "What Not To Wear", she is as sweet and beautiful as she is on the show (and I couldn't stop thinking about my make-up and hoping my mascara wasn't all runny). On Saturday I worked all day long on a very special "Style Hunter" project (that I am sure you are going to love) and on Sunday I spent the day celebrating with my dad and of c
